Dying After Ten Years for His Sin
Default
Story Guide
Episode 1
A woman walks out of prison after ten years for a murder she didn't commit—and the man who framed her is waiting at the gates. Jade was nineteen when Miles pressed the knife into her hand and pointed her out to police. Before that, he was her shadow, her protector since she was ten, the boy who promised at her parents' graves to keep her safe forever. Then he fell for Fiona, loud and dazzling, and proved his devotion by killing her fiancé, Marcus. Ten years of beatings left Jade's body broken, but one question kept her alive: why? Now Miles stands in the snow, polished and composed, saying he came to take her home.
Episode 2
Ten years erased the boy Jade grew up with. Miles looks composed now, polished—nothing like the kid who slept under highway overpasses with her, fought rats for scraps, and worked three jobs until he coughed up blood to put her through school. Jade's voice stays quiet when she asks the question that kept her alive: why hand her a murder weapon for a woman he'd known five minutes? His answer is worse than silence. He was out of his mind over Fiona, he says. She threatened to end up with someone else if he went to prison. He knew Jade would get hurt—but he couldn't lose Fiona. He says it while pulling Fiona closer.
Episode 3
Fiona's version of comfort is chilling: Miles left Jade a house and $10 million—how many people would kill for that payout? Her voice carries the easy confidence of someone giving spare change to a homeless person. None of it matters. Jade has stage-four cancer, one month left. Miles walks toward the estate laughing at something Fiona said, never noticing Jade limping behind him, every step costing her something. The house looks like a hotel—security guards, a staff of five, everything Miles and Jade once dreamed about from under their overpass. He got all of it. She got concrete floors and iron bars. Then Fiona blocks the door: Jade needs a proper scrub before setting foot inside.
Episode 4
Fiona's demand is simple and cruel: a cold shower outside, below freezing, before Jade can enter the house. Jade smiles politely and says she doesn't need to come in. Fiona's eyes sharpen—she thinks Jade is playing victim to make her look bad. Jade looks at Miles, searching for the boy she grew up with. He meets her eyes with something like an apology, then says Fiona is a little spoiled and asks Jade to just go along with it. Something in Jade goes still. She turns to leave, and Miles's voice stops her: is she seriously still holding a grudge? What more does she want? Jade turns back with three questions of her own.
Episode 5
The staff comes out with a pressure hose. Water hits Jade like a wall of ice, and she curls into herself, arms wrapped around her chest, shaking so hard her teeth rattle. Her thin jacket soaks through in seconds. Fiona tells her to stop being mad—she's too pretty to make that face—then presses herself against Miles and kisses him right there on the steps, like Jade isn't on her knees in the freezing water ten feet away. Jade stops fighting. She remembers another snowy night under a highway overpass, one rotting blanket between them, Miles swearing he'd never let her freeze again. She had believed him completely. He had forgotten completely. Then Fiona claps: enough, she's clean, come inside. Jade's body goes forward instead of upright.
Episode 6
Jade wakes three days later. Miles is talking to the house doctor, and when he sees her eyes open, he rushes to the bed—sorry, he didn't know her body was this bad. He asks about her leg, how it happened. Jade stares at the ceiling and answers flatly: the block leader broke her ankle for refusing to hand over her labor money, then they took her food, then they held her down and force-fed her scalding food straight from the pot. Why didn't she tell him? His voice comes out strange, tight. She used to, she says—the first time they hit her, she screamed his name. Eventually you stop calling for someone who isn't coming. He grabs her shaking hand and promises the best doctors, everything back. Jade smiles. She won't live long enough for any of it.
Episode 7
Miles walks out fast, like the room is on fire. That afternoon he transfers the deed on a house into Jade's name and puts $10 million in a new bank account. Jade thanks him—formally, carefully—and he asks why she has to be this way with him. Then Fiona insists Jade come down for dinner, soup she cooked specifically to help Jade get her strength back. Jade doesn't want to go; the cancer means she physically can't eat. But she goes. One sip and her esophagus feels like it caught fire. She sets down the spoon, thanks Fiona, says it's really good, says she's full. Fiona's response is immediate: one sip? She cooked for three hours. Jade is finishing every bite.
Episode 8
The smell alone turns Jade's stomach. She says she isn't well, her face gone white. Fiona calls it an apology for scaring Jade into the hospital last week—and Jade can't even give her the decency of eating it. The housekeeper pipes up that Fiona burned her hands making it, got blisters; some people don't know how to appreciate kindness. Miles tells Jade not to cause a scene—Fiona put in the effort, just finish it. Jade laughs before she can stop herself, then says quietly that she has stage-four cancer and can't eat. Miles's answer lands like a slap: stop being dramatic. One meal. As if her dying were a performance.
Jade walked into that house for answers—and the people who owe her one are still serving soup.
